I am continuing to love the summer produce and try to find new ways to cook with the season’s best vegetables. I found myself with an abundance of squash this week. These Healthy Squash, Spinach, and Feta Fritters were just too good and too easy not to share. I know you are going to love them too!
Healthy Squash, Spinach, and Feta Fritters
We recently got a new toaster oven that has an Air Fryer built-in. I never really thought I wanted (or needed) an air fryer until I made these Squash, spinach, and Feta fritters this week. Oh wow, was I blown away by how easy it was to use and how delicious my food came out. If you don’t have an air fryer, no problem. You can easily make these the old-fashioned way in a skillet with a little bit of Olive Oil or bake them in the oven. Easy peasy either way.
What are the ingredients?
The ingredients are quite simple for this one. Shredded squash, fresh spinach, and feta cheese mix together in a large mixing bowl. I’ve added a small amount of bread crumbs (can use gluten-free) and eggs to bind them together. From there, I used an ice cream scooper to create uniformly sized patties.
How to Prepare
I ended up cooking these fritters in an air fryer toaster oven. If you do not have an air fryer, you can cook them in a skillet with a little bit of oil or bake them at 425 in the oven. Either method will work. This super simple recipe is the perfect way to enjoy seasonal summer vegetables. If you don’t have yellow squash, zucchini works just the same. I used feta cheese however a Mozzarella or Monterey Jack would sub in just as well.
I think these Healthy Squash, Spinach, and Feta Fritters make the perfect side to any meal. I enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast alongside an omelet. Just perfect! Hope you enjoy them as much as we did over here!

Great combination of flavours for the summer. Fritters seem to be particularly trendy this year too! x
They are trendy this year and so good!
It looks very tasty and healthy 💚💚 Have a lovely week!!:**
Thanks so much you too!
These sound so good to me! I’ll have to figure out how to make them vegan. 🙂
I was thinking about that! You can def use your aquafaba and maybe some vegan cheese or just skip the cheese all together
I never would have thought to combine all of these in fritter form. But I love the idea and it would be great for my toddler!
